	Author	Review
United States	Liz Shannon Miller IndieWire	"While Serafinowicz might not have the accent exactly perfect, he does otherwise embody the character’s special brand of weird, and the pilot does a solid job of building a foundation for many more episodes to come."	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"'The Tick' errs too much toward slow and dark, but not actually dramatic or even vaguely thrilling, and finds none of the nimbleness it needs (...) This was a huge let-down."	NEG
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"It’s not a welcoming introduction to those not well versed in Tick-ology."	NEG
United Kingdom	Allison Keene Telegraph	"This reboot is sleek, mature, and a far saner business proposition than the 2001 version, but it feels like an artistic compromise. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United States	Vulture	"It’s exactly the superhero satire that the world needs right now."	POS
United States	Maureen Ryan Variety	"There are moments, lines and characters that work (...) This 'Tick’s' core problem is that cape-oriented meta-commentary and deconstructions of superhero tropes are now pretty common"	NEU
